Kennedy should enjoy his raccoon penis and shut the fuck up.

It's Trilobite Tuesday! Paraceraurus spinulosus hails from Eastern Europe’s Ordovician deposits ,where it is an uncommon find. Trilobites like this one are noteworthy for their thick, caramel-colored calcite shells and for their extraordinary, three-dimensional preservation.

Secret Service shot a kid today

A survivor of the Kent State Massacre rings the bell on campus today, May 4, at exactly 12:20, the moment his classmates fell, 56 years ago.

This may be anti-hot take, but dumping billion of tons of particles into the atmosphere to block the sun is maybe a bad idea, which is why I'm very worried some billionaire will want to do it. Words by me. badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/dimming-th... 🧪

The official announcement of my forthcoming novella!

His legacy will be the race to destroy as much as he can. It’s the bigliest destruction. No one has or will ever match it.

Chaos Pumpkin decided I’m his eternal servant.

Folks, I've been seeing some negative comments about Giuliani. C'mon, people. Is that really how low we've fallen? "Some negative comments" isn't enough, it should be more. Pick up the pace, team.

Friend’s cats have been fed and given medicine. Now off to feed myself and, I hope, make a little money.

Watching a relationship go up in flames as my girlfriend refuses to tell me what has upset her.

I would like to thank the brave people of Highland Park who voted against public transit and will now either have to raise the pay of household staff or learn to spend time with their kids and teach those same children how to clean up after themselves and do chores.

Two of three cats I’m looking after for several days are now willing to be in the same room with me. They’re also sniffing around my messenger bag. Chaos Pumpkin, the ginger, tried to climb in it. I serenaded them with “Everybody Wants To Be A Cat.”

Finished reading Saturation Point by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Climate fiction with a mix of Strugatsky Zone. It very much points out the Earth doesn’t need humans.

Cat sitting for a friend while she’s out of town. When I entered her apartment this evening, the cats were pawing at the tv remote and the screen showed options to subscribe to basketball playoffs. I’m rather concerned.

The year is 2026. The world's most famous atheist has fallen in love with an imaginary being. Your suspension of disbelief is taking the beating of its life.

The brain weasels are overactive today. I’ll push through and ignore them as I promised a friend I would watch her cats while she’s out of town.

This is one of the most quietly revolutionary things any city can do to improve kids' lives & outcomes. If you genuinely care about kids having access to education or safe after school spaces & activities, then fund your libraries, staff your libraries, & make every public school ID a library card.

to be fair, every royal wedding requires a human sacrifice, that's what we mean by "pageantry" in Britain

David Bowie, Henson, and the 40th Anniversary of Labyrinth: A Mini Oral History Four decades since the release of this misunderstood classic, the film’s actors, puppeteers, and musicians reflect on its legacy.

This seems somehow familiar.

Final 48 hours on this! Dragons! Coloring! Fantasy science! Doesn't coloring some cool dragons sound a lot more fun than almost anything else going on right now?

To be clear about what just happened: The Trump administration sent armed FBI agents to abduct a 78-year-old doctor and former federal public health worker from his home and stripped him because the brainwashed right-wing base, hopped up on a literal conspiracy theory, wants scalps.

A very important thread, because there's a huge difference between what we actually know about Cretaceous octopods and what's being hyped in mainstream news.

Guys! GUYS! It's back! It's coming back!!! The single greatest literacy promotion in human history* is coming back! All you 80s and 90s kids know what's up! *(this point may be a little hyperbolic, but just a little) people.com/pizza-huts-b...

Can King Chuckles sing this before he and Camilla depart the US?

I don't know what I watched nor what was said, but remember to pass to the right.

HELLBOY

Now let’s see if I can make money during rush hour before the floodgates open again. Then I’ll hole up and likely finish Tchaikovsky‘a Saturation Point.

Not only is this "Atomic" bullshit from ASU precisely and exactly the wrong way to go about using "AI" to develop course materials, it is in fact a culmination of many of my nightmare scenarios.

King Chuckles just told the US Congress that executive power is subject to checks and balances?

Between driving to Tyler and back, the unbearable humidity, doing deliveries as soon as I return to Dallas, being caught under a waterfall when the skies opened up, and surviving Frost Giants throwing ice at my car, I am so physically drained today.

Why should the US be a leader in science and technology? It's time for another nation to take charge.

The Frost Giants are throwing ice at my car. I’m in it.

RIP Gerry Conway

We’re on the Road To Tyler Though why I can’t seriously say We’re on the Road To Tyler We hope that our steed knows its way!

Also today in Things A Lot of People Already Knew: You mean to tell me that libertarian economic policy doesn't work out that great for everyday people? Shocking revelation.

RIP Nedra Talley-Ross

Observed so much panic over last night’s storms over North Texas and DFW. Tornadoes struck Wise County (NW of Ft Worth) killing 1, injuring and displacing others. I melted under the humidity (90 Fahrenheit heat) and enjoyed the light show (heavy lightning and thunder) as I ranged Dallas.

We're now at over $5700 going to support sapphic books!! It's so wonderful to see so much support for queer #IndieBooks 🥰🥰 And there's still time to grab this deal! So buy yourself a bunch of lesbian books & help us meet our silly unofficial goal of $6969.69?

That someone would willingly get close to Trump. Fixed it.

Why do I have the feeling he’ll try to use this to hold off the midterms?

The DoorDash delivery app went all cattywumpus yesterday, either sending me after orders already delivered or trying to turn me into the Flying Dutchman. Let’s hope it behaves today. I have a storage space to pay for and gas prices are rising in Dallas again.

A good context to recommend again this Ira Glass video on precisely this moment/problem and how long it can take to get through it - very much applies to academic research/writing www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2wL...

The question I have is why the Chevy was street legal? If you can't see a Lamborghini, then you won't see a kid (or an adult come to think of it). Might want to take her license away.

Sea anemone

Which god did I piss off? I’m starting to think my only option is get a gun and become a road agent. Stand and deliver!
